Hi Elizabeth
I've always had good luck at Bowman's Beach on the south (?) side of
the island especially a few days after a storm. The shells that are
washed up are both alive and deceased. And during a full moon at low
tide there are often nice big flat sandbars where you can observe live
ones (and sea anemones & sand dollars too). There is also a beach
south of Ft. Myers Beach (in a state park) called Lover's beach
because it is north of where most people picnic. At the north end of
that beach are some oyster beds (if I'm remembering correctly-it's
been years since I've been there) and I also found tons of King's
Crowns roaming around there. Have a ball if you're going there - it's
one of my favorite places in the world...I wonder why (ha ha)

Hi folks,
Where are some good spots on Sanibel Island (Florida) for:
Dead collecting?
Observing live mollusks?
I searched through 20 or so week's worth of archives but couldn't find
the Sanibel topic...even though I *know* it's there, by gum...
Thank you,
Elizabeth
